Qin Qing, a graduating student, was rushing to finish her thesis late at night when she stumbled and fell, only to wake up in the 1960s, right in the midst of a great famine. Completely disoriented...
Chapter 342 Test
It's corn picking season again.
Almost all the men and women in Yangjia Village went out and carried back baskets of corn under the scorching sun.
The salty sweat soaked my clothes.
It also cannot resist people's desire and enthusiasm for food.
Zhong Xiaolan sat under the shed in the threshing ground and rubbed off the corn kernels that had been dried two days ago.
The movements of his hands were orderly and extremely serious.
The old lady Shi at the side moved her bench closer and said, "Hey! Goudan's wife, I'm afraid you're going to give birth in a few months."
Zhong Xiaolan smiled, tucked her drooping hair behind her ears, and replied, "It's still early, probably around the turn of the year..."
"This kid is really good at pushing the boundaries..." Old Lady Shi stared at her belly, feeling envious.
Nowadays, the Qin family's life is getting better and better. Isn't this child born to enjoy a good life?
A family of three or four people is a first in their village.
Old Lady Shi came closer and said, "Xiao Lan, I heard your sister is looking for a husband in our village. Look at my daughter Fenfen! She's like you, very hardworking!"
It's just that I didn't live in a good time and didn't receive much education.
I can only do some manual labor.
Zhong Xiaolan spread the corn in her hand evenly on the ground. After hearing this, she said, "Grandma Shi, the day after tomorrow, Qingqing and the others will conduct a recruitment test in the village. You can take Fenfen with you to try it and you'll know. I don't know anything else."
"Oh, that's fine." Old Lady Shi looked regretful.
Although Zhong Xiaolan looks gentle, she is actually a stubborn person.
Whenever she came to ask, he always gave an ambiguous answer: they were from the same village, so what would happen if he adopted her granddaughter?
mean!
In the following time, there were always people who deliberately struck up a conversation and used the excuse to ask about this matter.
All of them were blocked by Zhong Xiaolan.
After all, the recruitment criteria are not hers.
Lu Tianxun, who was rubbing corn on the side, looked over here and said sullenly, "Look, these country people are living better than us, and they can even apply for jobs. We really give them a lot of power!"
Gu Xiaoling enviously replied, "You're right! If I hadn't been an educated youth, I could probably have gotten a job in Qin Qing's factory. That would be better than just staying in the fields!"
"If the Li family hadn't supported her from behind, she wouldn't be able to achieve such an achievement! I won't believe it even if you kill me!" Lu Tianxun curled her lips.
These country folks think that anyone can run a factory.
You have to have that ability.
The two were discussing heatedly, but Ruan Wenjing next to them remained silent.
The weather today is extremely hot. The female educated youth here are not picking corn, but are doing some light work instead.
I am quite happy and comfortable.
But looking at the wilted corn kernels in the yard, a feeling of worry crept into her heart.
She couldn't help but ask, "Tian Xun, did you bring back the food I asked your brother to buy last time?"
Lu Tianxun got angry when talking about this. He thought it would be easier to get things done if he had acquaintances, but Lu Tianming was so stubborn that he didn't want to cause trouble for others.
He went to the county town and bought her some expensive grain.
Not much, she has already eaten most of it now.
Hearing this, he said angrily, "Rely on that idiot brother of mine? Forget it! He has already returned to B, so if anything goes wrong, I will just rely on him..."
Gu Xiaoling envied him, "It's good to have a brother. Unlike my brother and sister-in-law, who have no hope at all, I bought some grains on the black market to deal with any emergencies..."
The corn in the courtyard was piled up like a small hill. Lu Tianxun was puzzled and asked, "The food will be distributed soon, what are you worried about, Sister Wenjing?"
Ruan Wenjing smiled but said nothing.
This silly girl must have thought that all the food in the dam could be divided among everyone.
If that's the case, there's nothing to worry about.
…
Two days later, the village began its recruitment examination.
Adhering to the principle of fairness, justice and openness, Qin Qing entrusted this matter to Yang Kaifu.
I only told him my three principles.
One has skills.
Second, be diligent.
Third, there is no problem with his character.
The rest of the work was handed over to Yang Kaifu. After all, he was the team leader and was doing it for the good of his fellow villagers. There was absolutely no bias towards anyone.
It can also prevent Qin Qing and others from offending others.
They are all from the same village.
It seems wrong no matter who you choose or not.
Where some are happy, others are sad.
Zhu Zhu stood in the crowd and winked at Qin Qing quietly. Except for her, everyone else had a bitter look on their face.
I thought Qin Qing was going to choose.
Fortunately, some of them have been trying to curry favor with Lao Qin's family these days, and their flattery has gone to waste.
Awkward.
Yang Kaifu distributed the things Qin Qing had prepared in advance one by one.
Just waiting for them to show their skills.
It was impossible to cheat under the watchful eyes of the public, and most of the people who registered first were eliminated.
Then a simple test was conducted to screen them one by one from the aspects of culture, stress response and work attitude.
In the end, only sixteen people were left.
In addition to Sister Zhong, Zhu Zhu and Song Huilan, there were three aunts and ten young girls from the village.
Those who were chosen were very happy.
Although they were all temporary jobs at first, the salary was only ten yuan a month.
But Director Qin said that you can become a regular employee after working for three months, so the early stage is extremely important.
Song Huilan had never thought that she would be selected based on her own strength. She became the oldest sister among them. For a moment, she was so happy that she almost flew away.
But there is always someone who spoils the mood.
Old Lady Shi stared at the only old onion and said, "Huilan! You're so lucky. You have a niece who's a factory director. You can do anything!"
In public, isn't this just saying that she got in through the back door?
Song Huilan is not a vegetarian.
He immediately retorted, "What are you talking about! We were all selected based on our abilities, so don't be sarcastic..."
"That's right, even a little girl like my granddaughter was rejected, and yet you were selected? I really don't know what they're trying to do!"
Yang Kaifu waved his hand, signaling them not to argue.
He cleared his throat before saying, "Your granddaughter wasn't chosen because she's illiterate. She can't even write her own name, and she didn't meet other people's requirements."
Qin Qing didn't say anything, so as not to be suspected of being biased towards anyone.
Old Lady Shi's face fell, and she said in a sly voice, "Come on, everyone knows that Song Huilan is also illiterate and has never been to school..."
Song Huilan raged, "Why are you talking so harshly? I may not have been educated, but my son Zhimu at least went to junior high school, and I learned a little from him. Why are you not allowing me to make progress?"
She felt that it was a close call, fortunately her old man had foresight.
Forced her to learn a few words,
Otherwise, this old woman would have given him an excuse to accuse me.
After Song Huilan finished speaking, she wanted to slap the other person's face with the words she had written.
"Look! No one remains the same. Stop looking at me through the crack in the door..."
She is no worse than those little girls.
